Guest guest Posted November 23, 2000 Report Share Posted November 23, 2000 STOP WHOLE FOODS SELLING FACTORY DUCK MEAT !!! - kim. <kim Tell Whole Foods No More Duck Meat! THE FACTS : Whole Foods has created an image that they care about the environment and the humane treatment of animals killed for food. However, they are knowingly selling factory farmed duck meat. Each year, 24 million ducks are housed hundreds to a shed in filthy conditions, without access to the outdoors. These aquatic birds are only given water to drink, some in the form of nipple drinkers. They also have a portion of their bills amputated to prevent feather pulling - a behavior caused by the unnatural environment. In the US, thousands of ducks are boiled alive in the slaughterhouse! THE WEEK OF ACTION : To educate the community about the horrors behind duck factory farming and to further encourage Whole Foods to stop selling duck meat, leafleting will be held at several Whole Foods in the greater Chicago area during a national week of action. During this week, compassionate individuals from across the country will be gathering in their cities and towns to encourage consumers to use their voice in to encourage positive change. The details are included in this email. Please join us and make your voice heard! THE ALTERNATIVE : If you can't attend any of the days of leafleting, please contact Whole Foods by phone, fax or email (information above) and encourage others to do the same. TELL THEM TO STOP SELLING DUCK MEAT ! If you would like In addition, customer suggestion cards are available at all Whole Foods locations that you can fill out! The Dates (Please note: if you would like to coordinate your own leafleting, we will be happy to provide all posters and literature necessary. Please contact kim at kim for further information) : Saturday, December 2 11:30a to 1:00p: Chicago - Gold Coast Sunday, December 3 1:00 to 3:00p: Chicago - Lakeview Saturday, December 9 11:30a to 1:00p: Chicago - Gold Coast Sunday, December 10 1:00 to 3:00p: Chicago - Lincoln Park Please Note: There will also be a leafleting at the Wheaton location - Details TBA!
